I am a User Experience Consultant with expertise evaluating end user activities and incorporating user-centered principles and methodologies to design software. During my years in corporate, I was an integral part of the building of a new UX team and was on the cutting edge with learning new tools to aid in our work.

Since becoming an independent consultant, I have worked with clients augmenting their internal staff as the lead User Experience through major redesign projects. My skills allow me to seamlessly collaborate with a current team, while also guiding and teaching UX principles and processes.

In addition to my staff augmentation projects, I have worked on many varied projects – UX research studies, plain language projects, and most recently I have been tapping into my previous career as a teacher/trainer to assist in training courses offered by Usability.org.

Do you wonder about, but actively avoid the big, bad wireframing tools? When your client asks for an Axure prototype, do you shudder with fear of a time-consuming ramp to learn a complex tool that neither really saves time nor facilitates better standards and more consistent implementation? Do you hide behind “wasting” your client’s time on learning?

This course is for you.

This is the story of two Axure users who have found that the tool really can help make your workload easier. We—practicing UX consultants on tight budgets and tighter timelines—will show you tips and tricks to make prototyping tools increase your productivity and improve the UX strategy at your organization.
